The Scangauge Automotive Computer is a handy and easy to install gadget for any vehicle that is a 1996 model or newer. Its main function is to examine the functions of your car or truck's engine but it also acts as a trip computer and fuel economy monitor.
Mounted below, above, or on the dash of your car the Scangauge allows you to watch the distance you are traveling along with the average speed of your vehicle and the number of miles per gallon you are getting as you drive. It features an easy to read and user friendly screen with an on-screen menu interface. Whenever you fill up your tank you'll be able to input into the Scangauge the number of gallons you put in along with the price per gallon that you paid. As you drive this handy gadget automatically updates and displays the fuel efficiency according to the miles per hour and RPM's of your vehicle.
By knowing this information you will have the needed knowledge to help you adjust your driving to get the maximum fuel efficiency. Quick acceleration and rapid stopping can affect fuel use in negative ways, but the Scangauge will show you just how much fuel you are using. In turn you can see when you are getting the best fuel efficiency and drive that way more often.
The Scangauge also keeps track of the temperature of your engine, the battery voltage and can scan for trouble codes. Well maintained vehicles that are running correctly are also known to get better gas mileage. If you feel that something is not functioning correctly the Automotive Computer will scan every aspect of the engine via the OBD-II connector under the hood and tell you exactly what is wrong.
Another gadget to help with the inconsistent speeds in your driving is the Sutticar Fuel Saver. Not quite as high-tech as the Scangauge, the Sutticar helps you monitor and change your driving habits using a simple device that is placed under the gas pedal of any vehicle.
The Sutticar Fuel Saver is also extremely easy to install and can be done in just a few minutes without using any tools. The device under the gas pedal creates a counter pressure so whenever you press the gas it forces you accelerate more smoothly. In unusual circumstances the Sutticar will allow you to accelerate rapidly, but in normal driving conditions it keeps your acceleration steady. By accelerating smoothly and then reaching and maintaining an even speed, you are using less fuel.
By using either of these handy and innovative devices you will be able to monitor more closely and consider how you can make your driving habits more economical. With regular use of either one you should see an improvement in your vehicles fuel usage by ten to twenty five percent.
